Nor only is Easter the browning holiday
of the Christian year, but Of all the days
in the church calendar it is that which,
beyond all doubt or cavil, is the very
anniversary of the great event it cele-
brates. 1t Is a coincidence of striking
import, that the festival by which the
heather honored the resurrection Of the
dormant powers of nature, occurred at
the same season. In their r%udimentary
barbarism amid the darkness Of the Ger
man forests and still farther back, on the
Central Asian plains, our remote fore
fathers, after the rude rites Of their for
gotten faith, adored the sun and ~rejoiced
at the yearly renewal Of his powers.
Among the peoples of Indo European
race, the keeping in some sort Of Easter
has almost the force of hereditary instinct,
even if far brought from that early day
when the bright Eostre was still goddess
of the dawn.

uNIrrD STATES TORPEDO BOAT ALARn.

UNITED oTATE5 lOhPEQO BOAT ALARM.
The Alarm, torpedo ram, was designed by
Admiral Porter, and is the only torpedo boat
owned by tho United States government. 1t
is 173 feet long, 81 feet 0 inche. wide, has a
draught of Il feet, and projecting from tho
bow is an immense under water ramming
prov 81 feet long. This Is covered with
wrought iron armor four and a half inches
thick, and in it Is the torpedo machinery.
This consists of n spar thirty-1ve feet long,
which can in an instant DO run out twenty
five feet beyond tho point of tho prov. On
the end of this spar the torpedo Is to be placed
and fired at will by means of electric wires
laid in grooves along tho spar md running to
n firing pedestal on deck.
Still more ingenious is the Mallory Propel-
Ter, by which the screw driving wheel can be
shifted to n direction almost ut right angles
to the boat and thus whirl tho latter around
as though on n pivot. On the bow, above, is
n heavy gun, me Hotchkiss and Calling ma
chine guns line the sides. So it Is gunboat,
ram and torpedo boat In one.
But the most novel, and, IL successful, tho
most formidable OF recent inventions, is the
torpedo gun. Lieut.. Zalinsli describes it rs a
pneumatic dynamite torpedo gunn-that is, a
gun for projecting dynamite torpedoes by
compressed air. The barrel is sixty feet long,
of iron tubing. and lined with brass to secure
smoothness. 1t Is expected to throw a cylin-
drical brass or steel torpedo, eight inches in d.
ameter, and carrying a charge Of sixty pounds
of dynamite a distance OF two and n quarter
miles The torpedo Is exploded by an olec-
trio fuse within 1t: ono kind by shock on con-
tact with tho vessel; the other to ignite in a
given time by chemical action, whether the

TORPEDO BOAT BUILT o DENMARK.

TORPEDO BOAT BUILT o DENMARK.
There arc torpedoes to go entirely under
water in a straight line, guided by automatic
rudders; others to GO with a portion above tho
water; some to be projected from a machine,
and many moro to DO propelled by machinery
in the torpedo itself. Nearly all are arranged
to explode by percussion on striking the yes
sci aimed at; but some are to be operated by
wires and guided by the engineer at a safe
distanco. They are all cylindrical, rather in
tho shape OF n very slender cigar, OF every
length from five feet to thirty and Of vary
ing weights. The greatest speed attained by
any yet reported Is thirty miles an hour-this
by the Whitehead torpedo in England. Tor
pedo boats vary still moro widely-from those
which go entirely under water, carrying con-
densed mir for the men, to those which differ
but little from ordinary gunboats. OF the
latter class is the boat lately completed for
Denmark.
This floating engine of destruction 1, built
OF the finest steel, is 40 feet In length, and
constructed to secure n very high rate Of
speed and admit of rapid turning and
mnncuvcring. 1t is expected to maintain a
uniform rate Of twenty two miles an hour
Tho Mcssrs. T~hornycroft, who made this
boat, and the Messrs. Yarrow, their great
rivals, now employ over 1900 men In this
line, and each firm can turn out one oom-
pleted boat a week.

Social and political fi%unKeyism is on
the increase, and if it progresses much
further the American will have small
cause to sheer at the subjects of European
monarchy for their snobbery and toady-
ism. Public characters as such are legiti-
mate objects OF public interest; viewed in
any other than their public relations, they
are no more than citizens, and their doings
are not rightly matters for comment. The
fact that the people do taac an interest in
what would in England be called court
news" is no evidence of public taste. The
Washington papers have recently been
discussing the ~propriety of describing the
wives of high officers by the official titles
Of their husbands, as Mrs. Secretary This,
Mrs.. Justice That and Mrs. Senator The
Other. The question is unimportant,
but that it is considered worth serious dis
cussion is a grsyer matter. There being
no convenient point at which to draw the
line, the rule must be observed through
out from Mrs. President down to Mrs.
Constable. and this sufficiently reduces
to an absurdity the silly proposition.

elemental war ensues. The ice continues to
move on till a gorge is formed which dams
the waters; this holds till the Immense cur
rent bursts through it, thon all Is swept clear
till at another narrow place In tho stream
another gorge is formed and tho war of the
element il renewed. OF course tho floods
above the gorge rise to an immense height
and overflow oil the low lands. The illustra-
lions represent the scenes attendant on such
overflows, and are taken from photographs
and sketches made this year at Bismarck
Great damage has boon done and many
lives lost-full details not yot estimated.
In some places tho Ice was heaped 100
feet above tho ordinary river level before
tho mass gave way. No railroad bridge In
tue world could stand such a shock; but our
engraving shows tho Northern Pacific bridge
at Bismarck resisting a minor flood. All the
low land near there Is entirely submerged.

mean I'M active part in the worst
intrigues against Queen Marie Stuart,

mated, and finally turned against the
queen and furnished part of the evidence
which led to her conviction and execution.
The Irish patriots naturally suspect a man Of
such a race. but the British Conservatives OK
tol him as a man Of honorable principles and
high requirement.
He is a nephew OF Salisbury, present prime
minister, and acted for some time as private
secretary of that gentleman In the foreign Of
Gee. He was also president Of the local gov
eminent board in 1855; was appointed secre-
tary for Scotland in July, 1886, and became a
regular member OF the British cabinet in No
yember last. He Is 80 years old; a graduate
of Eton and Trinity colleges, of Cambridge,
where he won distinction as a scholar.
In politics he is an c tr mo Tory
now politely called Consei vaAvo-and an
ardent advocate OF strong government meas
ures. He was evidently chosen as well fitted
TO conduct the execution of tho strong CO.
srcive measures the present party in power
has devised for Ireland. 1t Il remarked as .
distinction that in tho darkest hour for tho
Conservatives hc never faltered In his
vehement opposition to all tho liberal
measures OF Gladstone for tho pacincation
OF Iceland. He first entered parliament
in 1874 ms member for Hartford; but
since 1885 has represented tho Eastern divis-
ion OF Manchester. The war no and his fell
lows mado upon Gladstono's policy was at
last successful; the Tories are now In power,
Ireland ~ to be rigidly coerccd, and the un-
yielding II not unmerciful Balfour Is appro-
pfiately selected to manage tho work. Tho
coming summer may witness painful and
cruel scenes In the Green Isle.

sired to drop torpedoes in tho path OF an APP
preaching vessel. Tho gun is so accurately
balanced and the chambers OF condensed air
so well arranged that only ono man is re-
quired to aim and fire it. Tests that seem
perfectly satisfactory have already been
made with this gun, and much has been writ
ten and said Of it. Among other plans do
vised by its inventor is n gunboat upon which
two guns OF greater caliber than the one under
consideration will be mounted. A boat Of
this design is now being constructed for tho
United States government.

redoes have long been used against navies;
in the civil war they came into play
more largely than ever before, and since
then hundreds of ingenious inventors
have strivcn to bring them still nearer
perfection. During the last ten years
500, 900, 900 havo been expended by European
governments in experiments to secure a
reliable torpedo. In this country, too,
immense sums nave been spent by
firms and individuals; md yet most of the
machines invented havo proved of no great
value Three, however, have attained a high
degree of efficiency. They are known as tho
Comfortable Automobile Torpedo, the Sims
Edison and the Howell. Along with these in
v%entions have como the invention of torpedo
boats, rams and guns, of which we present
three illustrations, tho first of a torpedo
boat built by Messrs. Thornycroft, of Lon
don, for the government of Denmark; the
second of the Alarm, q United States torpedo
ram, and the third Of the very remarkable
CUR for projecting dynamite torpedoes, de-

SAMUEL d. SHANNON was appointed
secretary of Wyoming by the president
yesterday. The position was mnch sought
after, there being as many candidates for
1t as there were for the governorship.
The successful competitor is a gentleman
well known in this city where he has re-
sided tor several months. and succeeded
in making many friends. Though his
appointment may be distasteiul to the
friends of other aspirants, it cannot be
denied that he is entirely competent and
fully qualified for the Office, besides being
a gentleman of high character in every
respect.

GLADSTONE declared in a speech yester-
day. to a delegation of miners, that the
coercion bill, if passed is to be passed by
England's vote alone against the voices OF
Scotland. Ireland and Wales. In this the
statesman is doubtless correct, but the
natural result will be that all the rest Of
Britain will IN no long time make COM
mon cause against England. Gladstone
further said: For Ireland, it is a ques-
ton OF suffering, and she knows how to
suffer. For England, it is a question of
shame and dishonor, and to cast away
shame and dishonor is the first business
of a great nation"

lNo "A ~
He Is 50 handsome, rides 50 well and looks
80 imposing in his splendid uniforms that his
enemies ridicule him as ia circus rider"
Gambetta used to consider him one of the
four best officers in France. The young
officers and private soldiers admire him
enthusiastically. He Is extremely kind
and considerable with the lower ranks,
but makes few friends among the aristocratic
and wealthy classes. Ho has been all his life
accustomed to poverty.
One OF the Berlin papers called Boulanger
a second Bonaparte. and all Europe took it
up, and In n few weeks he was more written
and talked about than any man in Europe.
His personal friends say that he is not a Bona
parto in tho sense of wanting to be emperor;
but that he has plenty of vanity, likes
authority and might drift into a dictatorship.
He IL a Democrat of the Clemenceau school,.
Indeed, no owes his present position to the
jealous friendship Of ~Clemenceau, leader of
the Democratic party, who was his school
mate in early youth.
%Boulanger has acquired great influence be
cause of his decision Of character. He broke
up royalist combinations formed by officers of
swell cavalry regiments and the owners of
wealthy chntcaux In Touraine and Norman
dy. and he has organized q naval and military
club which enables poor Republican officers to
live in comfort without running in debt when
they are in Paris.
Never was a Frenchman so ~lampooned us
Boulanger. He has no reverence for mil
lionaires. The sons of cosmopolitan bankers
arc subject to military service just as if they
belonged to tho proletariat. He is, however,
morciful to the medical profession. Medical
students are exempted from three years SER
vico in the ranks.

IL is said that England is more destitute of
cavalry and artillery horses than any of the
great power. There are only 1000, 900 horses
In Great Britain, and nearly all of these are
draft, hunting and race horses, so that 10
other country can buy army horses there.
Russia has more horses than any country In
the world-over %, 1000, 900; but, since export
is forbidden, Europe can only look to the
United States or Canada for its supplies, both
OF which IA only 100000.
No European army employs mules except
the armies of Spain and Portugal, where they
arc used almost exclusively for the commits
sal Int service. Italy and Switzerland have a
small number OF mountain batteries horsed
by mules. England took on a stock OF mules
from America for her commissariat service
when there WINS talk OF war with Russia; but
they did not satisfy the bold British heart,
welded through the ages to horses, and they
wero sold at auction ut less than one-fourth
their cost.
France has tho science of war all in her
hand. 1t has not been long since the French
government commission reported that within
ten hours after the declaration Of hostilities
1t would be possible to concentrate 40, 1000 men
on any given point, and that administrative
and railway arrangements would enable
troops TO reach the same spot at tho rnte of
1900 an hour for the ensuing twenty-four
hours, at the end OF which time Az, 900 men
could be put in line. France has eighteen
army corps. The total force with which
France would begin operations Is 1.049, 800
men, with 2, TBS guns.
The cuts accompanying this show how
Boulanger exercises his soldiers-how he Is
preparing them for tho possible impending
struggle With Germany.

Now that no ono is sure how soon France
and Germany may have a set to, Gen. Bou-
langer, French minister Of war, is a figure of
special interest. He has held that office
eighteen months. A native OF Brittany, it is
often remarked that he is more like n Welsh
man than a Frenchman. He has, too, some
English blood in him. Before becoming min
lister Of war he had taken but little part in
French politics. During two years he was
director Of the administration of the infantry
in the war department. For three years he
commanded tho corps of occupation In Tunis,
and had smiled powder in active service as a
Junior officer, and received some honorable
scratches in the German war. He is 43 years

On tho eastern border the Red River Of
tho North has a general course due
north; as a consequence there is occasionally
a complete thaw around tho headwaters of
that stream, while tho ice is still firm 200
miles n~orthward, down stream. Naturally,
therefore, the upper floods burst up the Ice,
heave 1t into enormous masses and some
times forco 1t out Of the river channel and
far out on the adjacent prairie. The
double agencyo Of flood and grinding ice makes
such floods peculiarly destructive, but for
t~unately they do not often occur. A similar
thing occasionally happens on tho Missouri,
though its course is southeast and toward a
warmer region, and the cause of it is found
In the peculiar "Chinook Wind"
This is a warm wind from the Pacific
ocean, called by the japanese "Kuvo Siwo."
Occasionally in winter, oftener in early
spring, this wind takes such a course as to
blow through and over the lowest passes In
tho Rocky mountains of British America; ID
then sweeps southeast along tho eastern base
OF the big coteau, through Alberta ASSUME
boia and tho northwestern part of Dakota.
Tho mercury rises In a night from below
zero to above tho freezing point-in rare
instances as high as IS dogs. above zero. The
SNOW disappears as II before a warm south
wind, tho Ice, three or four inches thick In
the Missouri, suddenly loses its tenacity, the
waters rushing in, burst up tho ice and the
masses sweep down with r~esistless force. But

tho influence of the "Chinook," and the
